Insights, killer stats and impact

Ruth Shinoda (Deputy Chief Executive, Education Review Office and Head of the Education Evaluation Centre | Te Ihuwaka) will talk about how to use evidence to have impact on government policy using real world examples. She’ll focus on what does and doesn’t have an impact, mistakes to avoid (many which she has made!), lessons learnt, and most importantly the difference between evidence, insights and killer stats.
